Last month’s 11-1 loss to Dodge County was one of the most lopsided in recent memory. Tuesday’s rematch in Eastman was much closer, but left the Royals frustrated.

Lane Kitchens makes a catch in centerfield.


Cody Dennis’ single in the fifth broke a scoreless tie. Dodge tied the game in the sixth on an error with two outs. BC stranded a runner at third in the seventh. In extras, they would strand runners in both the eighth and ninth.

Tripp Purser sets to throw from third base.


The Indians got a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth to win 2-1. The umpire ruled Dennis did not tag the runner before he scored. Carter Raffield struck out 11 in seven innings pitched. Bleckley hosts Fitzgerald April 19. JV play at 4 pm with varsity to follow.
